[a little baking here and there]
[lovely basking weather… nashville can never decide what it wants, which is ok with me!]
[beautiful sunsets… pretty much always, it seems]
[multiple bathtimes for minnie, who loves to romp in farm-poo & also has itchy fall skin, bless her fluffy heart]
[pushing maddalena all over the house in her walker since she can’t quite reach the ground in it yet]
[my shiny painted pumpkin, princess pumpketta, still hangin’ in there for the holiday season]
[a surprise treat from my mommy on one of my not-finest days… that woman, she is the best]
[dangling oh so happily off of every beautiful breath our little lady takes]
[lots of this kitty love!]
you know what? i think being happy with your teensy little regular ole every day should be considered successful. like, more successful than making 1 jillion dollars and owning everything in the neiman marcus christmas catalogue… because if you look around, a whole lot of people, jillionaires or not, just really aren’t happy. so me, i’ll take those happy littles, please. please and thank you muchly.
a not-so-happy little, though, is that husband dearest went off on an adventure in duck hunting land this past weekend so, 1.) we did not put up our christmas tree like i’d planned, boo, and 2.) he came home sick as a really sick dog… which can really make a girl sad for her tall handsome one! so now i’m all, maddalena, meet lysol. lysol, meet maddalena. but hey. my birthday’s tomorrow. so there’s always that. well, seeya!

Your optimistic look on life is one of the reasons I love visiting this space. That, and the cute pictures of course! Those little things pack a lot of love, don't they? π

Britt @ The Magnolia Pair says
love that last photo of the two of you, that is just really beautiful. And I couldn't agree more, I am happy with the little things and for all I am blessed with. Riches are nice, but it definitely doesn't bring you happiness.
And, we found out we're having a girl! So, now I can play dress up with my girl like you do with Maddalena π
